CEO at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, former Member of Congress from Utah
Yesterday, I joined the Congressional Western Caucus monthly lunch hosted by Chairman Dan Newhouse (R-WA). We discussed several threats to reliability, and I stressed the importance of public policy working to help keep the lights on. The EPA power plant rules, permitting delays on public lands, wildfires and vegetation management are pressing issues facing electric co-ops today and I know that these issues impact members in the West. I appreciate the opportunity to bring co-ops’ concerns to meetings like these and thank the Chairman for having me.
